April and Poets

So in regards to the "April and Poets" pattern-cluster, I decided to see if I could find more. So my first search brings up:
  • Robert Seymour Bridges (23 October 1844 – 21 April 1930)
Okay... sounds good... and his date of death occurs on the 111th day of the year (reversed from 9/11-- the day of the year where 111 days remain)... we could use a reversal!!   From here I simply googled: poets born and or died in April, which brought up (on first page) mostly ones I already knew about, except for one:
  • George Gordon Byron (22 January 1788 – 19 April 1824)
 Hmmm, I'm starting to see a pattern emerge.  And then there was this site:
  • April Birthdays - Poets' Edition - The Halifax Reader
Hey... Halifax is where I live!! So of the Poet's mentioned, one in particular stood out:

Another female poet born in April is Margaret Avison. Born in Galt, Ontario, she lived to be 89 years old and won numerous awards throughout her life. Her first collection of poetry, Winter Sun was awarded the Governor General’s Award. She has also been awarded the Griffin Poetry Prize and was made an Officer of the Order of Canada. She has been called a spiritual or metaphysical poet. She was outspoken about the Christian inspiration for many of her poems. Her death in 2007 prompted many Canadians to mourn the loss of this national treasure. 





Her surname Avison reminds me of "bird"... and note the following etymology:
avis (a bird)
              avis Etymology :
  1. bird
  1. (figuratively) omenportent
 Now note from Margaret Avison's wiki page:
Griffin Trust For Excellence In Poetry red gryphon logo.jpgWOW, note her birthday, we now have an "April 19, __, 21, 23/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.
I like this Canada Focus!! And note the Griffin Poetry Prize emblem... the griffin is a CHIMERA... and obviously part "bird"... at least it's bill and wings!!  So one thing leads to another and I go through all the poets (winners) and judges (most of whom are poets) listed on the site and compile a list (not complete butt mostly), of dates and names that stand out (see below).  I colour coded the list for my own records, butt it didn't work out as well as I thought it might so bear with me.  Since the MacGregor's play a big part, the smaller highlighted blocks at right, namely the bright pink, red and yellow mostly reflect Rob and Megan MacGregor; the bright aqua blue and green reflect my family with the light purple being "me" in particular.  Anyhow as I said, it didn't work out as well as I hoped... it's a bit of a mess really.  Butt the larger areas of  bright yellow are the April Dates!!  Definitely the "April and Poets" pattern-cluster has multiplied!!":
"April __, 2, __, 4, __, __, 7, 8,__, __, __, __,  13, __ 15 (x2), 16, 17, __, 19, __, 21, 22, 23, __, __, __, __, 28, 29 /Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.  
The only duplicate is Ann Michaels and Albert Frank Moritz.  And there's a cryptic communication within.  First of all their first and last initials are the same  AM, which happens to be a word : state of EXISTING (past, present, future)... in other words the inner twin world are here... and when we say "I am", they are included, it's as simple as that.  The "Michaels" is meaningful and you will understand this meaning on reading my posts of the last few days... again it involves the MacGregors too.  As for the middle name "Frank" this communicates ''be frank and truthful".  And as for Moritz we get a cryptic "more ritz"... and then the etymology of the name originates from Morris, meaning "dark and swarthy".... an addition to the "Black/Dark/Danger Theme" pattern-cluster.  

The larger sections of light "flesh" highlighted  areas contain a cryptic phrase derived from the surnames re: "Logue, Penn, Page, Wright (write-right/truth),  Bök, Stern, Doty(dot y/why, or .?)" pattern-cluster. ?  It's a Theme... all one needs to make a Logue... like a wrighter's logue/script, is a pen, a page and the will to 'wright'... or in the case of the MacGregor's-- to  Bök  (to baulk ...with mouth agape and eyes wide open), which of course is making the inner twin world very "stern"!!  Note "Wright" and "Stern" have birthdays the same as both my grandchildren, and because "Wright" fits into the cluster then so must "stern".  The "Doty" at the end is a cryptic "dot y"... or "dot why"-- meaning a dot that ends a sentence and a question mark for the "why", and note Doty was born on the 222nd day of the year... a particular inner twin signature to sing off with.

And perhaps others fit in like "man hire" and "Robin Francis Blasser" and "Fanny Howe" (a cryptic : "butt how"!? with the answer also found within: by being frank (fanny is short for Francine the feminine form of Frank ).

 The "but how" reminds me of a question a young man put to me after  I had practically dragged him out of his car and up to the pool side, where I had briefly left Raymond Forest (a man who had drowned) in order to stop the young man's car as it was  passing near by.  I needed the young man to  help with the CPR and Mouth to Mouth (I was totally exhausted from being the only one for much too long).  The young man's petrified "but how" was answered by my... "JUST BLOW"!!  The young man did precisely that and so between the two of us guess what-- Raymond Forest is still alive today.  So to any of you out there asking the same question my answer in this scenario-- "JUST WRIGHT"!!

Note as well, my moms birthday crops up three times and her date of death once (Logue, Page, Mahon, Phillips)... I'm sure this means something... something cryptic. and the Michael Longly , Michael Palmer, Michael Redhill, Michael Imlau.  And then the Robert Bringhurst, Robert Creely, Lisa Robertson.  The "Creely" is interesting ... a cryptic "Cree Field", note the etymology:
The name "Cree" is derived from the Algonkian-language exonym Kirištino˙
Hmmm, sure sounds like "Christian" with an "o" at the end.
